"Quitter" Sarah Palin wants it both ways

Okay, so former Alaska Governor and permanent quitter Sarah Palin goes a speakin' up in Iowa--precursor to Presidential run?--and, as I suggested above, wants it both ways. On the one hand, she says "we"--I assume she means Republicans or maybe she just means the "Right Wing" and/or "Conservatives"--need to unite. From NPR this morning: "Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was coy about her future political plans, but she did have a message for fellow Republicans at Friday's annual Ronald Reagan Dinner in Iowa: It's time to unite." And that's all well and good and to be expected since, divided, they'll go nowhere. That and the fact that she's taking heat lately for doing the opposite--for dividing the party. And check this out, this where it gets good. After she says they need to unite, she says the following: "Maybe we need instant replay for political speeches. That might make it easier to see, in Sarah Palin's much anticipated Iowa speech Friday evening, the former Republican vice presidential nominee playfully telling Karl Rove where to go, if you catch my drift, without actually saying it. The moment in question came during the part of the speech where Palin was saying how she would dole out assignments if she were the running the Republican Party, like a football coach runs a team, in the weeks leading up to the November election. She would tell Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, a major player in Tea Party movement as she is, "You're awesome. We need you down south." She'd tell Mitt Romney to go campaigning in the West, George W. Bush to raise money and Rush Limbaugh to 'go deep, go anywhere, everywhere, people are listening.' When she got to Rove, at about the 27:54 point in the C-Span recording she said: And Karl, Karl, go to (she pauses ever so slightly and her demeanor stiffens subtly) here. You can come to Iowa. And Karl Rove and the other leaders who will see the light and realize that these are just the normal hard-working patriotic Americans who are saying no, enough is enough. We want to turn this around and we want to get back to those time-tested truths that are right for America." So on the one hand, she says get together. Then she turns 'round and tells at least one guy--and likely his followers--they can either go away or do it her way. I can just imagine how Karl Rove will take to that, can't you? Man, I love these Right Wing, Conservative, Tea Party and Libertarian tear-downs.
